About LEOS

What
is LEOS? LEOS is a full time emergency year-round shelter. We are a place where individuals and families
that do not have an adequate place of shelter can come. There are shower facilities, a laundry room,
kitchen and dining along with common living spaces. We will provide goal plans for all our residents,
helping them to transition from homelessness back to an independent life.

Where
is LEOS located? LEOS is located at 1129 West Ave. This is on the same street as the Lenoir
Police Department. Drive down West Ave,
after you past Willow Street, we are the second building. It is a beautiful
gray building with a red door.

Who
does LEOS serve? LEOS provides a place for men, women
and children to stay. We will serve
Caldwell County residents. There is
separate living quarters for men, women and children.

When
is LEOS open?
Intake at LEOS begins at 3:30pm. Doors
closer each evening at 8pm. Residents leave by 9:00am to seek employment, work
or complete other steps on their goal plans.

How
does LEOS operate? The shelter will be volunteer-run,
with the support of a Shelter Coordinator.
Volunteers are responsible for the workings of the shelter in the
afternoon during intake and overnight. Residents of the shelter are held
responsible to do chores and the housekeeping of the shelter. This is their home and we expect them to
help. The shelter is operated by 34 volunteer hours each day! We say thank you everyday to our volunteer army, interested in joining are volunteer army, contact the shelter at 828-726-3634 or email [email protected]?
